1. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1 RESULTS FOR THE 3RD QUARTER OF 2020

In the first 9 months of 2020, net income reached 76.1 million euros, a 10.3 million euros drop (-11.9%) over the same period of the previous year. Net income reduction reflected mainly the drop of 20.9 million euros in the domestic business EBITDA (-22.4 million euros in EBIT), following the decrease in Portugal's sovereign bond yields which negatively impacts asset remuneration, and the increase of 3.8 million euros (+15.5%) in the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector, reflecting the inclusion of Portgás' levy. On the other hand, the EBITDA from international businesses increased 5.4 million euros (+98.7%) when compared to the same period of the previous year, reflecting Transemel's acquisition in October of 2019, and financial results increased 2.8 million euros (+7.0%).

Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2020 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (28.2 million euros in 2020 and 24.4 million euros in 20191).

Investment was 103.7 million euros, a 6.0% y.o.y decrease y.o.y (-6.6 million euros) and transfers to RAB decreased 38.3 million euros to 21.9 million euros. Average RAB dropped by 64.9 million euros (-1.7%), to 3,652.9 million euros.

The average cost of debt was 1.9%, a 0.3p.p. decrease y.o.y., and net debt reached 2,743.0 million euros, a 6.1% increase (+156.5 million euros) over the same period of the previous year.

The decrease in EBITDA resulted mainly from:

  • The decrease of 15.6 million euros in RAB remuneration (-11.1%) arising from:
  • The 4.9 million euros drop in the remuneration of electricity transmission regulated assets reflecting (i) the reduction in the base rate of return (RoR) from 4.9% in September 2019 to 4.6% in September 2020 - as a result of the negative evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, and (ii) the decrease of 10.6 million euros (-0.2%) in electricity transmission average RAB;
  • Reduction of 7.5 million euros in the remuneration of natural gas transmission regulated assets reflecting (i) the reduction in the rate of return from 5.4% in September 2019 to 4.6% in September 2020 - as a result of the negative evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills; and (ii) the reduction of 42.0 million euros (-4.2%) in natural gas transmission average RAB;
  • Reduction of 3.2 million euros in the remuneration of natural gas distribution regulated assets, reflecting the reduction in the rate of return from 5.7% in September 2019 to 4.8% in September 2020 - as a result of the negative evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, despite the increase of 0.2 million euros in natural gas distribution average RAB.
  • Includes training and seminars costs.

3

REPORT & ACCOUNTS SEPTEMBER'20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • Increase of 5.8 million euros in Opex (+6.3%), despite the decrease of 0.5 million euros in personnel costs, which was more than compensated by the increase of 6.3 million euros in external costs. The increase in external costs reflects mostly, (i) the 3.8 million euros increase in pass-through costs (costs accepted in the tariff), of which +2.4 million euros correspond to costs with cross-border and system services costs; and (ii) the 4.2 million euros increase in forest clearing costs, partially offset by the decrease in other costs.

With respect to domestic business it is also important to note that the natural gas distribution business contributed with EBITDA of 33.3 million euros.

International Business - Chile

The EBITDA for international businesses reached 10.9 million euros in the first 9 months of 2020, a 5.4 million euros (+98.7%) increase over the same period of the previous year, resulting mainly from:

  • EBITDA of Transemel - an electrical power transmission company in Chile - which was 5.3 million euros. It should be noted that the results for the first 9 months of 2019 doesn't include results of Transemel, as the company was acquired only in October of 2019;
  • The decrease of 0.1 million euros (-73.9%) in Aerio Chile costs. The recognized income from the 42.5% stake held by REN in the Chilean company Electrogás was stable, and reached 5.4 million euros.

Net income

Overall, the Group's net income for the first 9 months of 2020 reached 76.1 million euros, a 10.3 million euros y.o.y. decrease (-11.9%). This decrease resulted mostly from (i) the 19.6 million euros drop in the Group's EBIT (-15.5 million euros in EBITDA) reflecting the decrease in Domestic Power Transmission and Distribution business (-20.9 million euros in EBITDA and -22.4 million euros in EBIT). despite the increase in the contribution of international businesses (+5.4 million euros in EBITDA and +2.8 million euros in EBIT), and (ii) the increase of 3.8 million euros (+15.5%) in the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector, reflecting the inclusion of Portgás' levy. On the other hand, financial results increased 2.8 million euros (+7.0%) reflecting the decrease in the average cost of debt to 1.9% (-0.3p.p.) and the increase in dividends from associates (+0,4 million euros), despite the increase in net debt to 2,743.0 million euros (+156.5 million euros; +6.1%) reflecting the acquisition of Transemel (155.5 million euros) and the consolidation of the new subsidiary's debt (7.2 million euros).

REPORT & ACCOUNTS SEPTEMBER'20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Changes in the consolidation perimeter

  • 2020

There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2020 compared to that reported on 31 December 2019.

  • 2019

On January 22, 2019, a merger of the entities REN Gás, S.A. and REN Gás Distribuição SGPS, S.A. was effected by means of the global transfer of the assets of REN Gás Distribuição SGPS, S.A. to REN Gás, S.A..

Additionally, on 17 July 2019, Apolo Chile SPA was incorporated, a company fully owned by REN Serviços, S.A., headquartered in Chile.

Finally, on 1 October 2019, Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica Transemel, SA ("Transemel"), headquartered in Chile, was held by Apolo Chile SPA (99.99%) and Aerio Chile SPA (<0.001 %). The REN Group, taking into account the change in the perimeter, appropriated the results of the company acquired since the acquisition date.

1.2 Approval of the consolidated financial statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 13 November 2020. The Board of Directors believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results of their operations, their consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated changes in their equity and their consolidated cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for interim financial statements as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34).

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting Standards, therefore do not include all information required for annual financial statements so should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements issued for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The Board of Directors evaluated the Group's going concern capability, based on all the relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial and other natures, including subsequent events occurred after the financial statement report date. Particularly, as of 30 September 2020, current liabilities in the amount of 849,965 thousand Euros are greater than current assets, which total 267,704 thousand Euros.

However, in addition to the consolidated results and cash flows estimated for the following twelve months, the Group has, as of 30 September 2020, credit lines in the form of commercial paper available for use in the amount of 1,025,000 thousands Euros, with a substantial part with guaranteed placement (Note 16). Additionally, the Group has, as of 30 September 2020, 80,000 thousand Euros in credit lines contracted and not used (Note 16). Also, the Group has 600,000 thousand euros relative to an Euro-Commercial Paper Program, being the total amount of the program available for utilization in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 (Note 16).

In result of this assessment, the Board concludes that the Group has the adequate resources to proceed its activity, not intending to cease its operations in short term, and therefore considers adequate the use of a going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros - tEuros, rounded to the thousand closer.

17

REPORT & ACCOUNTS SEPTEMBER'20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a result of the pandemic corona virus (COVID-19), there was a general worsening of the global climate of uncertainty, with negative effects on the prospects for the world economy evolution and financial markets.

The REN Group is actively monitoring this situation, has activated all the necessary plans and, although the situation is unpredictable, REN Group does not have or estimate to have, as of this date, significant effects on its operability and regulatory duties. It should be noted that the REN Group operates, essentially, in two business areas, Electricity and Gas, according to concession contracts attributed to the Group. These concession contracts are regulated, which in a certain way minimizes the possible impacts of the pandemic.

Additionally, it should be noted, and although there are no significant impacts as mentioned, there was some delay in the execution of some investment projects, in the period from March to April 2020, coinciding with the moment of general confinement in the country, but we estimate a partial recovery of these delays until the end of the year 2020. Regarding electricity consumption, there was a decrease compared to the same period last year, but the impact will be reduced at REN, with no impact on the revenue recognized in the income statement and only circumscribed in one time lag in terms of cash flows, in compliance with the tariff regulation.

There were no significant changes in the long-term expectation of recovery of the Group's investments and financial holdings.

On the present date, and taking into account the above and Note 5 - Main Estimates and Judgments, disclosed in the annex to the 2019 consolidated financial statements, the Group does not foresee any changes in the most relevant estimates, in the case of Provisions, Assumptions Actuarial, Tangible and Intangible Fixed Assets, Impairment, Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Impairment of Goodwill.

3 MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared for interim financial reporting purposes (IAS 34), on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, maintained in accordance with the accounting standards in force in Portugal, adjusted in the consolidation process so that the financial statements are presented in accordance with interim Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union in force for the years beginning as from 1 January 2020.

Such Financial Reporting standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards (IAS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and respective IFRIC and SIC interpretations, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") and Standard Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), that have been endorsed by the European Union. The standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred generically to as IFRS.

The accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2019, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Group has not previously adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that is not yet in force.

The estimates and assumptions with impact on REN's consolidated financial statements are continuously evaluated, representing at each reporting date the Board of Directors best estimates, considering historical performance, past accumulated experience and expectations about future events that, under the circumstances, are believed to be reasonable. There were no changes in the main estimates and judgments presented in relation to the nine-month period ended on 30 September 2020 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2019.

18

REPORT & ACCOUNTS SEPTEMBER'20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Adoption of new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020:

  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS

The revised Conceptual Framework includes: a new chapter on measurement; guidance on reporting financial performance; improved definitions of an asset and a liability, and guidance supporting these definitions; and clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material

The changes in Definition of Material all relate to a revised definition of 'material' which is "Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity". The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

These amendments provide certain reliefs in connection with interest rate benchmark reform. The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement. Given the pervasive nature of hedges involving IBOR-based contracts, the reliefs will affect companies in all industries. The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

  • Amendment to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations

These amendments: (i) clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs; (ii) narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; (iii) add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired. The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

  • Amendment to IFRS 16 - Leases: Covid 19 - Related Rent Concessions

These amendments change IFRS 16 to: provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a Covid 19 - Related rent concession is a lease modification; require lessees that apply the exemption to account for Covid 19 - Related rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications; require lessees that apply the exemption to disclose that fact and require lessees to apply the exemption retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, but not require them to restate prior period figures. The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

There are no standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in future economic exercises at the date of approval of these financial statements.

The electricity segment includes the transmission of electricity in very high voltage, overall management of the public electricity system and management of the power purchase agreements (PPA) not terminated at 30 June 2007, the pilot zone for electricity production from sea wave and the transmission and transportation of electricity in Chile. The gas segment includes high pressure gas transmission and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, as well as the operation of regasification at the LNG Terminal, the distribution of natural gas in low and medium pressure and the underground storage of natural gas.

Although the activities of the LNG Terminal and underground storage can be seen as separate from the transport of gas and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, since these operations provide services to the same users and they are complementary services, it was considered that it is subject to the same risks and benefits.

The telecommunications segment is presented separately although it does not qualify for disclosure.

Consequently, the Company's tax returns for the years from 2017 to 2020 are still subject to review.

The Company's Board of Directors understands that possible corrections to the tax returns resulting from tax reviews /inspections carried out by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the financial statements as of 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019.

The tax rate used in the valuation of temporary taxable and deductible differences as of 30 September 2020, was updated for each Company included in the consolidation perimeter, using the average tax rate expected in accordance with future perspective of taxable profits of each company recoverable in the next periods.

Loans obtained, as referred to in Note 3.6 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2019, are measured, initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, except for those which it has been contracted derivative fair value hedges (Note 12) which are measured at fair value. Nevertheless, REN proceeds to the disclosure of the fair value of the caption Borrowings, based on a set of relevant observable data, which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of borrowings and derivatives are calculated by the method of discounted cash flows, using the curve of interest rate on the date of the statement of financial position in accordance with the characteristics of each loan.

The range of market rates used to calculate the fair value ranges between -0.547% and -0.149% (maturities of one week and twelve years, respectively).

The fair value of borrowings contracted by the Group at 30 September 2020 is 2,908,739 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2019 was 3,004,161 thousand Euros), of which 413,982 thousand Euros are recorded partly at amortized cost and includes an element of fair value resulting from movements in interest rates (at 31 December 2019 was 411,262 thousand Euros).

Estimated fair value - assets measured at fair value

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 September 2020 in accordance with the following hierarchy levels of fair value:

  • Level 1: the fair value of financial instruments is based on net market prices as of the date of the statement of financial position;
  • Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes but using valuation models. The main inputs of the models are observable in the market, in relation to derivative financial instruments;
  • Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes, but using valuation models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020, there was no transfer of financial assets and liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020, REN proceeded to a valuation of the financial interests held Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa, S.A., which is classified as Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 10). The fair value of this asset reflects the price at which the asset would be sold in an orderly transaction.

For this purpose, REN has opted for a revenue approach, which reflects current market expectations regarding future amounts. The fair value of the investment amounted to 54,892 thousand Euros for the nine-month period ended on 30 September 2020.

With respect to the current receivables and payables balances, its carrying amount corresponds to a reasonable approximation of its fair value.

The non-current accounts receivable and accounts payable refers, essentially, to tariff deviations which amounts are communicated by ERSE, being its carrying amount a reasonable approximation of its fair value, given that they include the time value of money, being incorporated in the next two years tariffs.

Financial risk management

From the last annual report period until 30 September 2020, there were no significant changes in the financial risk management of the Company compared to the risks disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2019. A description of the risks can be found in Section 4 - Financial Risk Management of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 2019.

The valuation of the derivative financial instruments portfolio is based on fair value valuations performed by specialized external entities.

The amount recognized in this item refers to:

  • eight interest rate swap contracts negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the interest rate fluctuation risk;
  • a cross currency swap contract negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the exchange rate fluctuation risk.

Counterparties to derivative contracts are international financial institutions with a solid credit rating and first-rate national institutions.

For the purpose of the effectiveness tests of the designated hedging relationships, REN applies the "Dollar offset method" and the linear regression statistical method as methodologies. The effectiveness ratio is given by comparing the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument with the changes in fair value of the hedged item (or hypothetical derivative instrument simulating the conditions of the hedged item).

For the purpose of calculating ineffectiveness, the total change in fair value of the hedging instruments is considered.

Cash Flow Hedge - Interest Rate Swaps

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on a portion of future debt interest payments through the designation of interest rate swaps, in order to transform floating rate payments into fixed rate payments.

At 30 September 2020, the Group has a total of four cash flow hedging interest rate swap contracts for a total amount of 600,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2019 it was 600,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk is the variable rate index associated to the interest payments of the loans. Credit risk is not being hedged.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps, at 30 September 2020, is negative 24,454 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2019 it was negative 21,670 thousand Euros).

Of the derivatives described above, two contracts in a total amount of 300,000 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2019 it was 300,000 thousand Euros) are designated to hedge an aggregated exposure composed by the net effect of floating rate debt and interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments.

The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, was 26,290 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2019 it was 21,517 thousand Euros).

  • This hedged instrument is designated jointly with derivatives of fair value hedging amounting to 300,000 thousand Euros (see conditions on the table above) in an aggregate exposure hedge to Euribor 6 months in the period from 2023 to 2025 and, as such, eligible for cash flow hedge.

Cash Flow Hedge - Exchange Rate Swaps

The Group hedged the exchange rate risk of the 10,000 million yen bond issued through a cross currency swap with the main characteristics similar to the bond with regard to exchange rate risk. Credit risk is not hedged.

The fair value of the cross currency swap at 30 September 2020 is positive 12,166 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2019 it was positive 13,712 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also being recognized in equity hedging reserves, with exception of:

  • the offsetting of the exchange rate effect of the spot revaluation of the hedged item (bond issue in yen) at each reference date, arising from the hedging of the exchange rate risk1;
  • the ineffective effect of the hedge arising from the accounting designation made (REN contracted a trading derivative to economically hedge this ineffectiveness - see Trading Derivative)2. This inefficiency is caused by the change in the interest profile of the hedging instrument, which pays a variable rate in the period from 2019 to 2024.

  • The currency effect of the underlying (loan), at 30 September 2020, was favorable in the amount of 1,206 thousand Euros, and was offset, in the same amount, by the unfavourable effect of the hedging instrument in the income statement for the year (as of 30 September 2019 was unfavorable in 5,582 thousand Euros).
  • The ineffective cash flow hedge component of the exchange rate risk recognised in the income statement, was positive 1,491 thousand Euros which was offset by the effect of the trading derivative negotiated in negative 138 thousand Euros (as of 30 September 2019 it was positive 2,556 thousand Euros against negative 2,226 thousand Euros of the effect of the trading derivative). Therefore, the net effect on the income statement for the nine-month period ended on 30 September 2020 amounted to positive 1,353 thousand Euros (as of 30 September 2019 was positive 330 thousand Euros).

Fair Value Hedge

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on the fair value of interest payments on fixed-rate debt by negotiating interest rate swaps where it pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate in order to convert fixed-rate debt payments into variable-rate payments.

At 30 September 2020, the Group has a total of three fair value hedging derivative contracts amounting to 400,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2019 it was 400,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk corresponds to the change in fair value of debt issues attributable to movements in the market interest rate index (Euribor). Credit risk is not being hedged. At 30 September 2020, the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments was positive 17,134 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2019 it was positive 15,249 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of hedged items arising from interest rate risk are recognized in the income statement in order to offset changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, which are also recognized in the income statement.

REPORT & ACCOUNTS SEPTEMBER'20 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At 30 September 2020, the change in fair value of the debt related to interest rate risk recognized in the income statement was negative 2,720 thousand Euros (at 30 September 2019 it was negative 10,745 thousand Euros), resulting in an ineffective component, after considering the effect of the hedged items in the income statement, of approximately negative 1,300 thousand Euros (at 30 September 2019 it was positive 70 thousand Euros). The ineffectiveness recognized is related to the effect of the fixed leg spread of the hedging instruments that is not reflected in the hedged item.

Trading Derivative

The Group negotiated an interest rate swap, with a starting date in 2019 and maturity in 2024, which pays fixed rate and receives variable rate. This instrument, although not designated as hedge accounting considering IFRS 9 criteria, is currently hedging the effect of the ineffectiveness of the cash flow hedge of the interest and exchange rate risks of the bond issue in Yen, relative to the fluctuation of interest rates for the hedging period (see Cash Flow Hedge - Exchange Rate Swaps).

The notional amount of this trading derivative is 60,000 thousand Euros as of 30 September 2020 (at 31 December 2019 it was 60,000 thousand Euros). Credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of the trading derivative, on 30 September 2020, is negative 3,507 thousand Euros (on 31 December 2019 it was negative 3,177 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of the trading derivative are recorded directly in the income statement. The impact in the income statement, as of 30 September 2020, related to the effect of the fair value of the trading derivative was negative 138 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2019 it was 1,088 thousand Euros negative).

The caption "Reserves" in the amount of 298,194 thousand Euros includes:

  • Legal reserve: The Commercial Company Code in place requires that at least 5% of the net profit must be transferred to this reserve until it has reached 20% of the share capital. This reserve can only be used to cover losses or to increase capital. At 30 September 2020 this caption amounts to 125,075 thousand Euros;
  • Fair value reserve: includes changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets (43,844 thousand Euros positive), as detailed in Note 10;

On 30 September 2020, this caption amounts to 154,314 thousand Euros.

In accordance with the Portuguese legislation: (i) increases in equity as a result of the incorporation of positive fair value (fair value reserves and hedging reserves) can only be distributed to shareholders when the correspondent assets have been sold, exercised, extinct, settled or used; and (ii) income and other positive equity changes recognized as a result of the equity method can only be distributed to shareholders when paid-up. Portuguese legislation establishes that the difference between the equity method income and the amount of paid or deliberated dividends is equivalent to legal reserve.

The Group also has credit lines negotiated and not used in the amount of 80,000 thousand Euros, maturing up to one year, which are automatically renewable periodically (if they are not resigned in the contractually specified period for that purpose).

The balance of the caption Prepaid interest includes the amount of 13,067 thousand Euros (16,733 thousand Euros in 31 December 2019) related with the refinancing of bonds through an exchange offer completed in 2016.

As a result of the fair value hedge related to the debt emission in the amount of 400,000 thousand Euros, fair value changes concerning interest rate risk were recognized directly in statement of profit and loss, in an amount of 2,720 thousand Euros (negative) (at 30 September 2019 was 10,745 thousand Euros (negative)) (Note 12).

As of 30 September 2020, the REN Group complies with all covenants to which it is contractually bound.

REN and its subsidiaries are a part of certain financing agreements and debt issues, which include change in control clauses typical in this type of transactions (including, though not so expressed, changes in control as a result of takeover bids) and essential to the realization of such transactions on the appropriate market context.

Law No. 83-C / 2013 of 31 December introduced a specific contribution of entities operating in the energy sector, called Extraordinary Contribution over the Energy Sector ("ECES"), that was extended by Law 82-B / 2014, of 31 December, Law 7-A / 2016, of 30 March, Law 114/2017, of 29 December, Law 71/2018, of 31 December and Law 2/2020, of 31 March.

The regime introduced is aimed at financing mechanisms that promote systemic sustainability of the sector through the setting up of a fund with the main objective of reducing the tariff deficit. The entities subject to this regime are, among others, entities that are dealers of transport activities or distribution of electricity and natural gas.

The calculation of the ECES is levied on the value of the assets with reference to the first day of the financial year 2020 (1 January 2020) that include cumulatively, the tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, with the exception of industrial property elements, and financial assets related with regulated activities. In the case of regulated activities, the ECES is levied on the value of regulated assets (i.e. the amount recognized by ERSE in the calculation of the allowed income with reference to 1 January 2020) if it is greater than the value of those assets, over which the rate of 0.85% is applied.

To the extent that it is a present obligation whose facts originating already occurred, with timing and amounts certain or ascertainable, REN recorded liabilities in the amount of 28,347 thousand Euros (Note 19) (for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2019 was 24,390 thousand Euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.

The ECES line of the income statement, amounting to 28,165 thousand Euros (24,390 thousand Euros at 30 September 2019) for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 includes the amount of 182 thousand Euros (negative), related to the regularization of CESE from previous years.

30 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

30.1. Contingent liabilities

Tejo Energia - Produção e Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica, SA ("Tejo Energia") has announced to REN - Rede Eléctrica Nacional, SA ("REN Eléctrica") and REN Trading SA ("REN Trading") its intention to renegotiate the Energy Acquisition Agreement (CAE), in order to reflect in the amounts payable to this producer the costs, which in its opinion would be due, incurred with (i) financing of the social tariff and (ii) with the tax on petroleum products and energy and with the rate of carbon. Turbogás - Produtora Energética S.A. ("Turbogás") also stated its intention to renegotiate the CAE, in order to reflect in the amounts payable the costs incurred with the financing of the social tariff.

According to the CAE, Tejo Energia and Turbogás act as producers and sellers and REN Trading as purchaser of the energy produced in power plants. REN Eléctrica is jointly and severally liable with REN Trading, regarding the execution of the CAE with Tejo Energia and Turbogás. According to the information received, the total costs incurred by these companies until 30 September 2020 amounts to, approximately, 65 million Euros.

REN Trading and REN Elétrica consider that, with the existing legal framework, this possibility depends on the recognition that the associated charges can be considered as general costs of the national electricity system, the only way to guarantee the economic neutrality of REN Trading's contractual position.

All of these disputes have already been dealt with by the financial panels provided for in the PPAs, which rejected the requests made by the plaintiffs. The two disputes with Tejo Energia and the dispute with Turbogás regarding the social tariff were subsequently the subject of arbitration requests submitted by it to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
